From what I hear they take such questions from their customers and then post on PPRuNe asking for an answer.

While we are at it, a story. There were two pax sat waiting in the LCY departure lounge, and they got talking. One introduced himself as, maybe, a construction manager, and the other as an investment banker. "Ah", says the construction guy, "perhaps you can help me. I have just inherited £100,000 from an old rich aunt. How might I invest it ?". "Oh, quite straightforward, put £75,000 into Barclays unit trusts" was the reply. "Ah, OK; and what about the rest ?" says our construction man. "What, the other £25,000 ? Well, that's my fee for the advice" came the answer.
